Book The Economic Impact of S  744  the Border Security  Economic Opportunity  and Immigration Modernization Act

Download or read book The Economic Impact of S 744 the Border Security Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act written by Congressional Budget Congressional Budget Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744) would revise laws governing immigration and the enforcement of those laws, allowing for a significant increase in the number of noncitizens who could lawfully enter the United States permanently or temporarily. The bill also would create a process for many currently unauthorized residents to gain legal status, subject to their meeting conditions specified in the bill. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) have prepared an estimate of the cost of that legislation to the federal government, including projections of the bill's effects on both federal spending and federal revenues. That cost estimate reflects some, but not all, of the effects that S. 744 would have on the economy. This supplemental report provides estimates of the overall economic impact of the legislation and of the incremental federal budgetary effects of changes in the economy that the cost estimate does not reflect. Ascertaining the effects of immigration policies on the economy and the federal budget is complicated and highly uncertain, even in the short run, and that task is even more difficult for longer periods; for that reason, this report addresses the next 20 years but does not attempt to look over a longer horizon.

Book The Economic Benefits of Fixing Our Broken Immigration System

Download or read book The Economic Benefits of Fixing Our Broken Immigration System written by Executive Office of the President and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has always been a nation of immigrants, and throughout the nation's history, immigrants from around the globe have kept our workforce vibrant, our businesses on the cutting edge, and helped to build the greatest economic engine in the world. However, America's immigration system is broken and has not kept pace with changing times. Today, too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers and there are 11 million people living and working in the shadow economy. Neither is good for the economy or the country. It is time to fix our broken immigration system. The President has made clear that Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in Congress should work together to enact commonsense immigration reform that includes proposals to continue to strengthen border security, create an earned path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, hold employers accountable, and bring our legal immigration system into the 21st century. Last month, the Senate passed historic legislation that is largely consistent with the President's principles for commonsense immigration reform with a strong bipartisan vote. The Senate's Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744) represents the best chance that our country has had in years to modernize our immigration system. The President urges the House of Representatives to take action and move this bill or similar legislation forward, and stands willing to work with all parties to make sure that commonsense immigration reform becomes a reality as soon as possible. This report outlines the key benefits to the U.S. economy of passing commonsense immigration reform.

This is must reading for anyone interested in one of the major issues of the day.

Book How Changes in Immigration Policy Might Affect the Federal Budget

Download or read book How Changes in Immigration Policy Might Affect the Federal Budget written by Congressional Budget Congressional Budget Office and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two years, the Congress has considered proposals to modify the nation's immigration system. The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigra-tion Modernization Act (S. 744), passed by the Senate in June 2013, addresses multiple facets of immigration policy, including changes to the existing visa system, improvements in border security and law enforcement, and changes to the status of people who currently live in the country without legal authorization. Other proposals have focused on one component of immigration policy-for example, improving border security or changing cer-tain aspects of the visa system. Whether the proposals involve broad or narrow changes to immigration policy, they could have a variety of consequences for both citi-zens and noncitizens, for the federal government, and for state and local governments. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report examines some of those proposals and how such changes would affect the federal budget. When estimating the budgetary consequences of immi-gration reform, CBO considers various factors. Depend-ing on the details of proposed legislation, changes to immigration policy could have a significant effect on the size and composition of the noncitizen population and, as a result, on rates of participation in federal programs and the payment of taxes. For that reason, when estimating the budgetary effects of proposals, CBO considers the demographic and labor force characteristics of foreign-born people, their eligibility for and participation in fed-eral programs, their tax liability, changes in the economy, and a number of other factors. If proposals were com-bined into a single, more comprehensive immigration bill, estimates of the budgetary effects would take into account the complex interactions among the various pro-visions; the net effect would not be a simple summation of the individual effects.

Book Immigration Reform

Download or read book Immigration Reform written by Molloy C. Ross and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years, some Members of Congress have favored "comprehensive immigration reform" (CIR), a label that commonly refers to omnibus legislation that includes increased border security and immigration enforcement, expanded employment eligibility verification, revision of nonimmigrant visas and legal permanent immigration, and legalization for some unauthorized aliens residing in the country. Leaders in both chambers have identified immigration as a legislative priority in the 113th Congress. While Members of the House reportedly have considered several different approaches to immigration reform during the spring of 2013, debate in the Senate has focused mainly on a single CIR bill: the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744). This book summarizes major provisions of S. 744, as reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It also discusses H.R. 1417, as reported by the House Homeland Security Committee, a bill that focuses more narrowly on border security strategies and metrics. The analysis focuses on eight major policy areas that encompass the U.S. immigration debate: comprehensive reform "triggers" and funding; border security; interior enforcement; employment eligibility verification and worksite enforcement; legalization of unauthorized aliens; immigrant visas; nonimmigrant visas; and humanitarian provisions. This book provides a detailed discussion of major legislation related to each of these issues.
